Déjà vu

I returned to Holland to meet Sarah and Jesse this weekend! We were enchanted by the streets of Amsterdam. We never tired of the reflections in the canals and the bike-choked paths. Jesse gave us a lengthy "tour" on our way to Anne Frank's House. We visited Vondel Park, Van Gogh's Museum, and the royal palace. The red light district provided plenty of shocks. We tasted Dutch pancakes with apples or chicken and cheese baked in. Delicious! On our last night, we traveled to the Magere Brug. The legend is that two sisters lived on opposite sides of the canal and built the bridge so they could visit each other often. I wish the Atlantic Ocean could be conquered with a bridge.
